by

sf-269-talk-love-to-me-baby-album-art-ar“Falling in love is easy.  Staying in love—that’s the challenge!  How can you keep your relationship fresh and growing amid the demands, conflicts, and just plain boredom of everyday life?”

If you’ve ever wondered what to do when the romance wanes and all that remains are two people in a relationship, then this is the Success Freaks episode for you.  Why is it such a struggle to share love with one another once the feelings begin to ebb just a bit?  And, now we learn we might not be speaking the right Love Language when we do try!  Listen in as Mordant & Kirsten wade through this lingual lagoon and discuss Dr. Gary Chapman’s book The Five Love Languages.  It’s Episode 269 – what better reason could there be to… Talk Love to Me, Baby!?

Success Freaks #79 – Mordant & McFall’s Excellent Adventures at NMX

by

“Ted: Bill, I think they want us to say something.

  Bill: What should I say?

    Ted: [shrugs] Make something up.

      Bill: Be excellent to each other.

        [room murmurs appreciatively]

          Ted: Party on, dudes!

            ~from the movie: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure~

In this episode our #1 late-Night “BlogWorld, Baby!” Motivational talk-radio show hosts (whew!) come to you, once again, from The Entertainment Capital of the World…Las Vegas, Nevada!  As New Media Expo (formerly BlogWorld) is in the middle of breaking down exhibits and the NMXLive! Conference comes to an end, for 2013, Mordant & McFall are hosting their second radio show in two days.

Joined by The Real PodVader himself (Jay Soderberg), the boys give us a recap of the “Excellent Adventure” they have been on for the past three…no, make that four…days.  Many new friends have been made, lots of knowledge has been passed down, business alliances have been formed, and PodCasting Royalty has been touched by the Success Freaks invasion!  The phrase “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” was tested as McFall regaled us with his “nightclub memories” and the unveiling of THE pen (my precious).

Among the many wonderful souls that were touched on in this show, we offer a huge “Thanks” to the following people (see the Highlights) who gave us guidance, reached out to make us welcome, offered support, and just were an absolute joy to meet as Success Freaks (formerly known as “The Other Side of LIVE!”) stormed the NMX/Blogworld castle.

Party on, Dudes!

SUCCESS FREAKS #78 – Bushwhacking Success – Winning Through Persistence Against All Odds

by

Broadcasting LIVE from Las Vegas at the NMX Conference, baby! This “Special” episode of  Success Freaks finds the #1 Late-Night “New Media Expo” Motivational Show hosts, Mordant and McFall, in the middle of one of the most exciting, and nerve-wracking, times of their lives as they share their adventures in “Bushwhacking Success “ …or finding that “back door” (just like a Victory Ninja) in to where you want to be.

Today our Success Freaks podcasting duo enthusiastically discuss the trials and tribulations encountered on their path to becoming professional speakers, the road to NMX, as well as the lessons learned along the way, and how they use these experiences as they move forward. With a little help from a list of people that reads like the Who’s Who of NMX and/or podcasting Royalty, this hour is lively, fun, and a lesson in itself.

The race you’re running, the one that levels up your life enough to achieve your goals and change your world — it’s a race your run against yourself … and it’s a marathon — not a sprint.  Persistence is the key to Bushwhacking success.  Too many people quit, thinking they’re way off the mark, not realizing they’re just 10 feet from the gold.  You’ve got to plan your strategy, lie in wait, and then move when the opportunity presents itself.  If you really want to do something, sometimes you have to actually create it yourself!  This can be said for almost everything you do.

TOSOL/Success Freaks #77 – Your 2013

by

This is YOUR 2013!  Work towards Goals…don’t make resolutions.

When most people make their New Year’s Resolutions, they are setting themselves up to fail from the very beginning.  So, set positive Goals instead of Resolutions and work towards them.

What Goals have you planned for 2013? We’re not talking about “Resolutions” here we’re talking actual Goals.  Have you set Goals you want to achieve?  Have you written them down?  Have you set actionable (baby) steps to help you achieve your Goals?  Do you have plans to keep a record of your daily, weekly, and/or monthly steps?

In this Episode our New Year’s Day Motivational hosts, Mordant & McFall, take us on a trip down memory lane as we remember how much The Other Side of LIVE! has evolved since the beginning of 2012.  It’s been a year of transition, growth and coming of age as motivational speakers, talk radio show hosts, and individuals.  Plans are being formulated for the TOSOL/Success Freaks radio show, and business, for 2013 as the show becomes “Success Freaks”, The Success Freaks System is created, the Success Freaks Conference comes to life in June 2013, and everyone on the Success Freaks team is gearing up for a Bigger, Badder, Better fun-filled future.  Goals are being set, steps are being made to reach those Goals, and, in 2013, Success Freaks will be the most exciting ride in the amusement park.  We invite everyone to join us on this ride.

“All we can ever do as human beings is react out of where we live.” ~Charles McFall~

TOSOL #76 – Two Guys, One Christmas

by

“The party’s on. The feelin’s here. That only comes. This time of year.  Simply having a wonderful Christmastime…” ~ Paul McCartney ~

While everyone else in the world is busy spending time with friends and family. While everyone else in the world is enjoying a little time off from their busy lives and celebrating Christmas the way, ya know, you should … our Motivational talk show Elves, Mordant & McFall, are doing the one thing that no one else on their team is doing.  They’re chatting…on the radio … with each other, and Gitmo Slave (from the No Agenda Stream), about what they’re doing with their Christmas Day.

The evening runs the gambit from favorite Christmas Movies that simply must be watched, reminiscing about favorite gifts received as children, favorite memories of time spent with family, and what annual rituals people go through during this time of year. Mordant, McFall and Gitmo take the time to share of themselves with their listeners on this Christmas Evening.

Talk turns to the NMX/blogworld conference coming up in January and what TOSOL/Success Freaks has to offer their faithful listeners/followers in 2013.  And just what does the coming year have in store for everyone, including Mordant & McFall?  Public Speaking engagements, touring the country, conferences,  online coaching, webinars, and even a rebranding of the company. “This year is the year we’re really going to stop talking and start doing.”  This will be the year of “Exciting” for everyone in the TOSOL/Success Freaks/No Agenda Stream world and you’re all invited along for the ride.
